I hope there are instructions as I have no idea what most of these tools do Also I wonder how hard it would be to get replacment bits. Could you let me know when it gets to you Gasper

1mm-3.2mm collet size is the same as Dremel so i'd gues you could use all the same tools Jez.

I've just bought a new Dremel or i'd have grabbed this kit myself. As with all kits of this nature there will be some bits thrown in that never sell or get used but it seems decnt especially for the price.

That looks exactly like a kit i bought sometime back(but with more bits) but rebranded

I was advised against it as i got told it would overheat if used for more than 5 to 10 minutes but as i could nt afford a dremmel at the time i went ahead and bought it and never had any problems with it.

Looks a really good buy

My goodness robby is moonlighting sales for `Maplins` now.

What a `first class` "salesman"/ "wallet emptier" he is. icon_shoppingm

Good on you mate.

I probably going to get one. My current multitool is nearly ten years old and due a major service so it would be nice to have a backup. Heck the accessories alone make it worthwhile to restore depleted stocks.

EDIT: Would really prefer a cordless kit but my finances just aren't up to it for a decent kit.

Oooh the Mr's black and decker one has just decided to stop being variable speed. I will suggest this to him as a replacement

Reserved mine at the local store so shall pop off and collect it when I get the "ready" email.
I live a 5 minute walk from my local shop, although I do still tend to get most of my components from elsewhere it is handy to have for emergencies - like the other week when I had to replace the power switch on the vacuum cleaner.

Maplin are pretty good if you have to take anything back as well
